Oct. 6, 1954: Marilyn Monroe crying during media gathering outside her home after Joe DiMaggio packed his bags and moved out. Monroe clings to her attorney, Jerry Giesler. This photo was published in the Oct. 7, 1954, L.A. Times.

And then she went back to her “honeymoon house” at 508 N. Palm Drive, Beverly Hills, to talk over the separation with Joe…

Giesler said the couple “talked it over” all day and “reached a pleasant understanding.”

The news media quickly staked out the “honeymoon house.” On Oct. 6, Joe DiMaggio moved out and left for San Francisco. A Los Angeles Times story the next morning reported:

Actress Marilyn Monroe gave up in sobbing collapse yesterday when she tried to return to her workaday world before the cameras after Joe DiMaggio had packed his bags and left their honeymoon home forever.

Marilyn left the quaint two-story house on Palm Drive only 45 minutes after Joe rolled away from the curb in his blue sedan, but two hours later she returned – sent home to bed by her physician.

Her studio, 20th Century-Fox, said the actress had gone to the office of her attorney, Jerry Giesler, then to the office of her doctor and from there telephoned that she couldn’t keep her date for rehearsals.

On Oct. 27, 1954, during a short 10-minute hearing at a Santa Monica courthouse, Marilyn Monroe was granted her divorce from Joe DiMaggio.
